INTEODUCTOEY. 

Preceding almost every important election in New 
England recently, the author lias heard frequent inqui- 
ries for some paper or book which gave the returns by 
towns at the last previous election. In New England 
we feel proud of our town system, and the election re- 
turns are made by towns ; in nearly every other State no 
political division below counties is regarded as of any 
great importance. The " Tribune " and " Democratic " 
almanacs give tables of returns by counties in nearly 
every State, which answers the demand for reference 
outside of New England. About the time of the New 
Hampshire election, last March, the compiler first 
thought of publishing the work now presented, for 
use in the Presidential Campaign of 1868. Official fig- 
ures have been obtained from the office of each Secretary 
of State, at considerable trouble and expense, and the 
tables of votes are believed to be in all cases reliable. 

The census of each town for 1850 and 1860 are also 
given, antl those taken under authority of the States of 
Massachusetts and Rhode Island in 1865. It is believed 
that this feature will greatly add to the value of the 
work, and cause it to be preserved for reference after 
the next election returns shall have given place to later 
ones. The arrangement of towns alphabetically has 
involved great labor, but it is believed will render the 
work more acceptable to those who often desire to 
refer to some town with whose geographical location 
they may not be altogether familiar. The names of 
Udi cities, towns and voting-places are given, divided 



8 INTRODUCTORY. 



as follows : Maine, 485 ; New Hampshire, 231 : Vermont, 
245 ; Massachusetts, 336 ; Rhode Island, 34 ; Connecti- 
cut, 163. In one or two States there is a discrepancy 
between the votes of some towns and counties, and the 
total oflScial vote. In these cases errors of omission, 
or mistakes were made by town officers in the names 
of candidates, and the votes were credited to " scatter- 
ing," or omitted altogether. The compiler has given 
such votes as they should have been returned. 

In addition to the census and election returns of New 
England towns, other, and by no means secondary, fea- 
tures of the "Manual," it is trusted, will prove conven- 
ient and useful : such as the popular vote of all the 
States taking part in the elections for President in 1860 
and 1864 ; popular vote at most recent elections ; times 
of elections ; area of each State and population in 1850 
and 1860, with the classes at the latter period; Gov- 
ernors of States ; United States Government, with the 
majority for each Representative in Congress at his last 
election; History of Impeachment ; summary of the pro- 
ceedings of the Republican and Democratic National 
Conventions, the platform adopted by each, sketches 
of the candidates, with the sentiments of each as pre- 
sented in his letter of acceptance, &c. 

It has been the purpose of the author to make this 
"Manual" acceptable as a work of reference, alike to 
Democrats, Conservatives, Republicans and Radicals, 
by omitting everything that might give it a partizan 
character; and it is sent forth with the hope that it 
may to some extent benefit every one into whose hands 
it may chance to fall. 

Lowell, July, 1868. 



NEW ENGLAND. 

Though relatively only a small section of the great 
American Union, New England has a larger territory 
than the kingdom of Portugal, is two-thirds as large as 
Italy, one-third as large as Spain, and half as large as 
England and Ireland combined. Maine exceeds in ter- 
ritorial extent Bavaria with its four and one-half mil- 
lions of people, is twice as large as Switzerland with 
its two and one-half millions of inhabitants, and more 
than twice as large as Holland with its three and one- 
half millions of Dutchmen, and is nearly three times as 
large as Hanover. Saxony, with less than two-thirds 
the territorial extent of New Hampshire, has six times 
as large a population. Vermont and Rhode Island uni- 
ted are equal in extent to Belgium, with its four and 
one half millions of souls ; and Wurtemburg, with less 
territory than Massachusetts, has half a million more 
people. The State of Connecticut is larger than the 
Roman States, the dominion of Pius Ninth. 

Constant, powerful and well rewarded efforts have 
been made and are still making, through the medium of 
the press, by lecturers, emigrant aid societies, agents 
and' circulars to convince New England people that 
happiness, prosperity and wealth are sure anywhere 
and everywhere save in the East. Nor have our own 
officials and citizens always endeavored to combat these 
ideas and efforts ; for it is only a few years since that a 
patriotic, and now lamented, Governor of a New Eng- 
land State, in his annual message to the Legislature, 
recommended the adoption of some measure to aid 
young women to leave the State and seek homes else- 
where. 

These arguments and efforts have had their influence 
not only to induce natives of New England to immigrate, 
and to a great extent decrease the population in cer- 
tain localities, as the tables published elsewhere prove, 
but to turn to some extent the tide which might have 
increased her population by inducing industrious and 
thrifty outsiders to settle within her borders. Hun- 
dreds of thousands of the young, tens of thousands of 



10 NEW ENGLAND. 



the middle-aged, and thousands of those past the me- 
ridian of life, have bid farewell to the homes, associa- 
tions and scenes of New England, and sought new ones 
in distant States and Territories. In 1850 the number 
of persons of New England birth in the United States 
was 2,821,823, of whom 453,896 resided outside of the 
six New England States. In 1860 the number of natives 
of New England had increased to 3,144,598, of whom 
560,336 — or more than one-sixth — resided elsewhere. 
The natural increase of natives was, therefore, 322,775, 
while the immigrants had increased 106,440, showing 
that the immigration equalled one-third of those born. 
Taking the estimate for deaths it is safe to say that the 
number of those leaving New England between the two 
decennial periods must have been 15,000 or 16,000 annu- 
ally. The New Englanders resident in New York in 1860 
amounted to 177,981, more than the population of Rhode 
Island that year. Illinois had received 66,093 ; Wiscon- 
sin, 54,340; Ohio, 53,386; Michigan, 38,106 ; California, 
82,269; Pennsylvania, 25,555; Iowa, 25,040; Minnesota, 
18,822 ; Indiana, 12,307, and other States and Territories 
smaller numbers. The New England population of eight 
of those called the Western States, increased 100,000 in 
ten years. Some of these immigrants no doubt im- 
proved their condition, but tens of thousands were no 
better off than when they left their former homes in 
New England, but want of means or pride have pre- 
vented them from returning. 

Statistics prove the fact that New England, if older, 
and by many represented as worn out, gives better re- 
turns even for agricultural labor, than some of the 
newer States. The Virginia Advertiser, published at 
Lynchburg, in that State, a few months ago, gave some 
comparisons, which coming from an impartial source is 
worthy of place here. Under the head of " Some Facts 
worth Knowing " the Advertiser says : 

"We have taken the troiible to compile from the Report of the 
Commissiouer of Agi-iculture, for 1805, the followiug interesting 
table, exhibiting at a glance the relative productiveness and value 
of crops of the New England States and six of the Western States, 
viz : Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota, We 
have selected the sLx New England States as being considered the 



NEW ENGLAND. 11 



least productive agricultural States of any on the Atlantic slope, 
and the six named Western States as being among the most pro- 
ductive agricultural States of the West, and these we propose to 
compare by the light of the official statistics furnished by the De- 
partment of Agriculture for four years, from 1862 to 1805 inclusive. 
We have selected all of the staple crops of the two sections, and 
believe the table presents as fair a comparison as can be made 
between them.

We confess that when we began to make this examination we 
were not entirely prepared for the result obtained. Knowing as 
we did, the superiority of the East over the West, still we had not 
thought that bakren -New EnglajsD was ahead even in the quan- 
tity produced. It will be observed by examining the above table 
that while the Eastern States are a little ahead in quantity pro- 
duced, the VALUE PER ACRE ARE >fEARLy DOUBLE those Of the 

West. In other words a farmer in New England will make nearly 
twice as much money from the cultivation of one acre of land as 
the farmer in the Western States. Though this result is contrary 
to the commonly received opinion we believe it to be correct. 

The Virginia editor proceeds to show that his section 
is far behind the West, and consequently greatly behind 
New England. It is far from the purpose of the writer 
to say anything against the great — the patriotic West — 
against Illinois, which has given us a Lincoln and a 
Grant ; against Ohio, the home of a Sherman, a Sheri- 
dan and a Brough; against Indiana, the residence of a 
Wallace, a Morton and a Colfax, or against other States 
which have given the country so any eminent men, wise 
in council, and so many patriotic men, brave in war. 
All honor to the West ; may it prosper and increase in 
wealth and power. But it is believed the West does 
not need the young life-blood of New England to ensure 
her prosperity, which while they '' enrich her makes us 
poor indeed." The outpouring tide of immigrants should 
not be checked by detracting from the West, and fer- 
menting feelings of envy and distrust which never re- 
sult in good, but by inspiring the East with new zeal, 
and making it for the interest of the young to remain 
on the soil on which they were born. 



THE SOUTHEEN ELECTOEAL COLLEGE BILL. 

The following is a copy of the bill excluding certain 
States from voting for President, vetoed by the Presi- 
dent, but passed by Congress over the veto, July 20th, 
1868. 

That none of the States whose inhabitants were lately in rebel- 
lion, and which States are not now represented in Congress, shall 
be entitled to representation in the electoral college for the choice 
of President and Vice President of the United States, nor shall 
any electoral votes be received or counted from any of such States, 
unless at the time prescribed by law for the choice of electors the 
people of such States, pursuant to acts of Congress in that behalf, 
shall have since the 4th of March, 1867, adopted a constitution of 
State government under which a State government shall have been 
organized and shall be in operation, and unless such election of 
electors shall have been made under the authority of such consti- 
tution and government, and such States shall have also become 
entitled to representation in Congress, pursuant to acts of Con- 
gress in that behalf. 



ADDITIONAL EETUENS, EEEATA, ETC. 

Alabama.— J. B. Callis has been qualified as Representative in 
Congress from the 5th District, instead of Joseph W. Burke, who 
was first reported elected, and whose name is given ou page 62. 
George E. Spencer has been elected United States Senator for the 
term ending in 1873, and Willard Warner, for the term ending in 
1871. 

iNxiiANA.— George W. Julian, Representative in Congress, has 
been nominated for re-election. 

Mississippi. — The vote on the Constitution is reported as fol- 
lows : Yeas. 56,231 ; Nays, 63,860 ; majority for rejection, 7,629. The 
Democratic State ticket is elected. The members of Congress are : 
District 1, Charles H. Towiisend; 2, T. N. Martin; 3, G. P. M. Tur- 
ner ; 4, George C. McKee ; 5, William T. Martin. Mr. McKee is a 
Republican; the others Democrats. 

Oino.— The Republican vote in 1867, on page 57, should read 
243,605 instead of 263,605. The majority given— 2,983 Republican- 
is correct. 

Oregon.— Vote for Congressmen, 1868 : Joseph S. Smith, Demo- 
crat, 11,789; David Logan, Republican, 10,580. Democratic ma- 
jority, 1,209. 

Vermont.— The vote for Governor commencing on page 34 is 
that of 1867, not 1868. 



PEESIDENTIAL ELECTOEAL VOTE 

SINCE 1788. 

The following shows the votes for President and Vice 
President since the establishment of our National Gov- 
ernment. Previous to 1804, the electors voted for two 
persons, but did not designate which should be Presi- 
dent and which Vice President. A majority of electoral 
votes, as now, were required to elect the President, but 
the person receiving the second highest number of votes 
became Vice President. At the first two elections there 
were no party divisions.

[IVIr. Burr was the Republican candidate for Vice President, but 
there being a tie, the House of Representatives after a protracted 
contest elected Mr. Jefferson President by the votes of ten States ; 
to four for Mr. Burr and 2 blanks. The Fedei-alists preferred the 
latter " as a choice of two evils," as they then thought. The Con- 
stitution was amended so that the electors should thereafter vote 
separately for President and Vice President.]

Alaska. This territory for which Congress, just before its 
adjoiirnment, appropriated $7,200,000, the price agreed upon to 
be paid Russia, contains a territory estimated at from 400,000 to 
570,000 square miles, thus adding to upward of 3,000,000 square 
miles in the United States previously, that large amount of terri- 
tory. The coast is said to extend over 4,000 miles, and the fish- 
eries and furs are very valuable, but whether in other respects it 
will be largely profitable is yet to be determined. Its population, 
owing to the climate, is small, being estimated from 40,000 to 75,000. 



Amnesty. The anmesty ijroclamation of President Johnson, 
issued July 4th, 1868, pardons every person who, directly or indi- 
i-ectly, participated in the late insurrection or rebellion, excepting 
such persons as may be under presentment or indictment in any 
Court of the United States upon a charge of treason or other fel- 
ony, with restoration of all rights of property except as to slaves, 
and except also as to any property Of which any person may have 
been legally divested under the laws of the United States. 



Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or per- 
suasion, religious or political Economy in the public 

expense, that labor may be lightly burdened; the honest pay- 
ment of our debts, and sacred preservation of the public faith.— 
TH03IAS Jefferson's first inaugural address. 



The PtTBLic DEBT. The public debt of the United States at 
its highest point, 31st of August, 1865, was $2,757,689,571 over the 
amount of cash^in the Treasury , On the 1st of June, 1868, it was 
$2,510,245,886.

Anson P. Morrill was elected by the Legislature Governor for 
18.55, and Samuel Wells for 1856. At all other elections the Repub- 
lican candidates had a majority. 

Eight acres of land in Maine devoted to corn, wheat, rye, oats, 
barley, buckwheat, potatoes and hay— one acre of each — produced 
on an average in 1866, crops to the value of $270.97, according to 
statistics returned to the Agricultiu-al Bureau at Washington; 
eight acres of the same in Wisconsin yielded crops, in the year 
named, valued at $1G0..59. Maine farmers need not go West, or 
leave the State to improve their condition.

YOTE FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, 1867. 

Republican. Democratic. 

DIS. 1— Jacob H. Ela, 13,243 Daniel Marcy, 12,247 

2— Aaron F. Stevens, 11,260 Edward W. Harrington, 10,305 

3— Jacob Benton, 11,294 Harry Bingham, 10,246 



Gov. Harriman in his last message, says that the people of 
New Hampshire probably consume about a barrel of flour a year, 
each, at a cost of $6,000,000, He believes that wheat enough can 
be raised in the State for the use of its people. Three acres of 
wheat to each farm would be 90,000 acres, and a yield of fifteen 
bushels per acre would give 1,350,000 bushels, enough to make 
300,000 barrels of flour, or nearly one to each person.

In 1861, most of the former town of Fall River, R. I,, was 
annexed to Fall River, Mass., and a part of Portsmouth, R. I., 
annexed to AYestport, Mass. The town lines between Seekonk 
and Pawtucket, then both in Mass., were adjusted, largely in favor 
of Pawtucket, which was transferred to Rhode Island. Massa- 
chusetts lost and Rhode Island gained about 2.500 inhabitants by 
this settlement of boundaries.

INDUSTRY OF MASSACHUSETTS. |> 

In looking over the volume of Industrial Statistics of Massa- 
chusetts, taken May 1st, 1865, we find an interesting Table which 
gives the statistics of the State for two periods of ten years inter- 
val, viz. : 1855 and 1865. 

In 1855 the productions of 245,908 persons engaged in industrial 
pursuits were valued at $295,820,082, showing the average of each 
person to be $1202.97. This result was most satisfactory, hut in 
1805 the progress of the preceding ten years was shown hy the 
official returns to be quite astonishing; for in the last year the 
statistics revealed the fact that the value of the productions of 
271,421 persons Avas $517,240,613, or an average of $1905.07. This 
last, it should be borne in mind, was in a time of war, during the 
progress of which 159,000 of the men of Massachusetts had been 
engaged in the work of suppressing the rebellion, some for the 
whole four years and others for a shorter period. The leading 
and most valuable articles of manufactures or productions were 
the followmg: Cotton goods, $54,430,881; boots and shoes, $.52,- 
915,243; woolen goods, $48,430,071, calico and delaines, $25,258,703; 
clothing, $17,743,894; tanning and cuiTying, $15,821,712; hay, $13,- 
195,274; paper, $9,008,521, &c. 



During the late rebellion Massachusetts contributed to the 
Federal Army and Navy, an aggregate of 1.59,105 men, and she 
expended for the war out of her own Treasury, $27,705,109, be- 
sides the expenditures of her cities and towns.

House — a strict party vote — passed a lawover the vetoof the Presi- 
dent, to regulate the tenure of certain civil offices. The act provided 
among other things " that every person holding any civil office 
to which he has been appointed by and with the advice of the 
Senate, and every person who shall hereafter be appointed to any 
such office, &c., shall be entitled to hold such office until a succes- 
sor shall have been appointed by the President, with the advice 
and consent of the Senate and duly qualified." It specified that 
members of the Cabinet shall hold their offices respectively for 
and during the term of the President b}^ whom the}' may"^have 
been appointed, and for one month thereafter, subject to removal 
by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The act like- 
wise provided that the President may for misconduct or other 
cause, temporarily suspend officers during the recess of the Senate, 
and on the meeting of that body, he must report his reasons for 
such action, and if the Senate concurs he may remove the officer 
and appoint a successor, but if the Senate does not concur the 
officer resumes the duties of his office. The penalt}- for the vio- 
lation of the act is a fine not exceeding ten thousand'dollars. 

President Johnson suspended Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary' of 
War, from office, August 12th, 1867, and Gen. Grant was appointed 
adinteriin to perform the duties of the office. January 13th, 1SG8, 
the Senate by a vote of thirty-five to six, voted that they do not 
concur in the suspension of Mr. Stanton, and General Grant re- 
tired and Mr. Stanton resumed his former duties. 1 he Senators

Congress, then in session, and by advice refused to give up his 
office. The Senate in Executive Session resolved that " under the 
Constitution and laws of the United States, the President has no 
power to remove the Secretary of War and designate any other 
officer to perform the duties of that office ad interim.^'' The Sena- 
tors voting in the affirmative were 

Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cattell, Cole, Conkling, Cragin, 
Drake, Ferry, Harlan, Morrill of Maine, Morrill of Vermont, 
Morton, Patterson of New Hampshire, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross, 
Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Trumbull, Van Win- 
kle, Wade, Willey, Williams, Wilson, Yates. 

In the previous December, an attempt had been made to have 
Mr. Johnson impeached, but only fifty-seven members (all Repub- 
licans) had voted for it, while one hundred and eight members 
(sixty-seven Republicans and forty-one Democrats) voted in the 
negative. The act of the President in attempting to remove Mr. 
Stanton and appoint a Secretary ad interim, and the votes of the 
Senate, Januar}' 13th and February 21st, revived the subject of 
impeachment, and on the twenty-fourth of February by a vote of 
one hundred and twenty-six to forty seven, the House Resolred, 
That Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, be im- 
peached of high crimes and misdemeanors.

NATIONAL EEPUBLICAN CONVENTION, 1868. 

This body assembled in the Opera House, Chicago, on 
Wednesday, May 20th, every State and Territory hav- 
ing been represented. Governor Marcus L. Ward, of 
New Jersey, chairman of the National Republican Com- 
mittee, called to order. General Carl Schurz, of Mis- 
souri, was temporary chairman, and General Joseph R. 
Hawley, of Connecticut, permanent President, with 
one Vice President and Secretary for each State. The 
first day was devoted to preliminary business and lis- 
tening to speeches. On Thursday, 21st, the following 
platform was reported and unanimously adopted. 
The National Republican Party of the United States, 
assembled in National Convention in the city of Chicago, on 
the 2181 day of May, 1868, make the following Declaration of Prin- 
ciples : 
" I. We congratulate the country on the assured success of the 
Reconstruction policy of Congress, as evinced by the adoption, in 
the majority of the States latelv in rebellion, of Constitutions se- 
curing Equal, Civil and Political Rights to all, and it is the duty of 
the Government to sustain those institutions and to prevent the 
people of such States from being remitted to a state of anacchy. 

II. The guaranty bv Congress of Equal Suffrage to all loyal 
men at the South was demanded by every consideration of public 
safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be maintained; 
while the question of Suffrage in all the loyal States properly be- 
longs to the people of those States. 

lil. We denounce all forms of Repudiation as a national crinie , 
and the national honor requires the payment of the public in- 
debtedness in the utmost good faith to all creditors at home and 
abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit of the laws 
under which it was contracted. 

IV. It is due to the Labor of the Nation that taxation should 
be equalized, and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will 
permit. 

V. The National Debt, contracted, as it has been, for the pres- 
ervation of the Union for all time to come, should be extended 
over a fair period for redemption ; and it is the duty of Congress 
to reduce the rate of interest thereon, whenever it can be honestly 
done. 

VI. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to 
so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money 
at lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to 
pay so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is 
threatened or suspected. , . . 

VII. The Government of the United States should be adminis- 
tered with the strictest economy; and the corruptions which have 



72 NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 

been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call 
loudly for radical reform. 

VIII. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of 
Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession to the Presidency of 
Andrew Johnson, who has acted treacherously to the people who 
elected him and the cause he was pledged to support; who has 
usurped high legislative and judicial functions; who has refused 
to execute the laws ; who has used his high office to induce other 
officers to ignore and violate the laws ; wlio has employed hia 
executive powers to render insecure the property, the peace, 
liberty and life, of the citizen; who has abused the pai'doning 
power; who has denounced the National Legislature as uncon- 
stitutional ; who has persistently and corruptly i-esisted by every 
means in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction 
of the States lately in rebelUon; who has perverted the public 

gatronage into an "engine of wholesale corruption ; and who has 
een justly impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and 
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five 
Senators. 

IX. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European powers 
that, because a man is once a subject he is always so, must be 
resisted at every hazard by the United States, as a relic of feudal 
times, not authorized by the laws of nations, and at Mar with our 
national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are en- 
titled to protection in all their rights of citizenship, as though they 
were native-born ; and no citizen of the United States, native or 
naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment bj' any 
foreign power for acts done or words spoken in this country ; and 
if so qrrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government 
to interfere in his behalf. 

X. Of all who were faithful in the trials of the late war, there 
were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers 
and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign and cruise, 
and imperiled their lives in the service of the country ; the boun- 
ties and pensi'>ns provided by the laws for these brave defenders 
of the nation, are obligations never to be forgotten ; the widows 
and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people— a 
sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's protecting care. 

XI. Foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much 
to the wealth, development and resources and increase of power 
to this republic, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should 
be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. 

XII. This Convention declares itself in sympathy with all op- 
pressed peoples struggling for their rights. 

Resolved, That we highly commend the spirit of magnanimity 
and forbearance with which the men who have served in the Re- 
bellion, but now frankly and honestly co-operate with us in re- 
storing the peace of the country and reconstructing the Southern 
State Governments upon the basis of impartial justice and equal 
rights, are I'eceived back into the communioii of the loyal people; 
and we favor the removal of the disqualifications and restrictions 
imposed upon the late Rebels in the same measure as their spirit 
of loyalty will direct, and so may be consistent M'ith the safety of 
the loyal people. 



NATICmAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 73 

Resolved, That we recognize the great principles laid down in 
the immortal Declaration of Independence as the true foundation 
of democratic government, and we hail with gladness every effort 
toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of 
American soil. 

After the adoption of the platform the name of 
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was proposed as the can- 
didate for President of the United States, and the 
roll of States was called. Every delegate voted for 
Gen. Grant, and amid great enthusiasm he was declared 
unanimously nominated, having received 650 votes. 

The Convention next proceeded to ballot for Vice 
President, a number of names having been presented 
for that office. The following was the result of the 
five ballotings which followed : 

Itst. 2n<l. 3rd. 4tli. 5tfii. 
SCHUYLER Colfax, Ind. 118 149 164 186 224 

Benjamin F. Wade, Oliio, 149 170 178 204 199 

Reuben E. Fenton, N. Y., 132 140 130 144 137

James Speed, Ky., 22 

James Harlan, Iowa, 16 

J. A. J. Cresswell, Md., 14 

Wm, D. Kelley, Pa., 6 

Before the announcement of the fifth ballot many 
States transferred their votes to Mr. Colfax and he was 
declared to have 522 ; Fenton, 75 ; Wade, 42 ; Wilson, 
11. Gen. Sickles, of New York, moved to make the 
nomination of Schuyler Colfax unanimous and the 
motion was carried. The convention soon after closed 
its proceedings. 

THE republican CANDIDATES. 

Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, candidate for President, was 
born in Mount Pleasant, Clermont County, Ohio, April 
27th, 1822. He graduated at West Point in 1843, and 
was brevetted Second Lieutenant. He was assigned to 
duty as Second Lieutenant of Infantry in 1845, and was 
in active service during the Mexican war. For gallant 
services at Molina del Rey he was made First Lieuten- 
ant, and again distinguished himself at Chapultepec, for 
which he was brevetted Captain in 1850. After the 



f4 NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION 



Mexican war, he was assigned to duty on the Pacific 
coast, and in 1853 he received a full commission as Cap- 
tain, but resigned the next year, and for several years 
subsequent he was engaged in private pursuits, first 
working on a farm near St. Louis, and afterward was 
interested with his father in the leather business at Ga- 
lena, Illinois. When the rebellion commenced, in 1861, 
he at once ofi'ered his services to Governor (now Sena- 
tor) Yates, of Illinois, and in June of that year was 
commissioned Colonel of the 21st Illinois Regiment, 
and two months later was promoted as Brigadier Gen- 
eral of Volunteers by President Lincoln. He soon after 
drove the rebels from the vicinity of Paducah, Kentucky, 
and performed other good work, but his first great vic- 
tories were the capture of Ports Henry andDouelson, in 
Pebruary, 1862, the terms given in the latter case to 
Gen. Simon B. Buckner, the rebel commander, being 
"unconditional surrender." Gen. Grant was imme- 
diately promoted to the rank of Major General, and 
on April 7th and 8th following he fought the battle 
of Pittsburg Landing, the rebel General A. S.Johnston, 
having been killed. In July, 1862, Gen. Grant, was 
made commander of the Department of Tennessee, and 
soon after occupied Memphis and Holly Springs. After 
an investment of several months, Vicksburg surren- 
dered to Gen. Grant, July 4th, 1863, with Gen. Pember- 
tou's rebel army, numbering 31,000 men. This with the 
great Union victory at Gettysburg the day before, 
caused great rejoicing in the loyal North. Gen. Grant 
was immediately after the surrender of Vicksburg ap- 
pointed Major General in the regular army. He re- 
mained at the head of the Western Army planning 
several victories, until March 2d, 1864, when he was 
appointed Lieutenant General, and immediately there- 
after assumed command of all the Union armies, his 
immediate duties being with the Army of the Potomac. 
May 3d, the latter Army crossed the Rapidan, and on 
the 5th, 6th and 7th, the battles of the Wilderness were 
fought, and on the 11th, Gen. Grant after a summary of 
> the events of the preceding few days, said — " I propose 
to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." The

siege of Eichmond was fairly inaugurated June 14th, 
and the lines were being constantly contracted from 
that date until the latter part of March, 1865, when 
commenced the final battles of the war, which in one 
week terminated by the capture of Richmond, April 2d, 
and on the 9th of that month Gen. Robert E. Lee, sur- 
rendered the main rebel Army to Gen. Grant. July 25th, 
1866, Gen. Grant was appointed General of the Armies 
of the United. States, the highest military title ever 
conferred in this country, and which rank he still holds. 
He served as Secretary of War ad interim from August 
12th, 1867, to January 13th, 1868, when in obedience to 
a vote of the United States Senate he retired that Ed- 
win M. Stanton might be restored to the office from 
which he had been suspended. May 21st, 1868, the 
Union Republican National Convention unanimously 
nominated Gen. Grant as candidate for President of the 
United States. 

Hon. Schuyler Colfax, candidate for Vice Presi- 
dent, is a native of the city of New York, born March 
23d, 1823. He received a fair common school education, 
and in 1836, removed with his mother's family to South 
Bend, Indiana. He was clerk in a store for a time, but 
soon after reaching his majority, became proprietor and 
editor of the St. Joseph's Begister, published at South 
Bend. In 1818 and 1852 he was delegate to the Whig 
National Conventions, serving as a secretary of each. 
In 1850 he was a member of the Indiana Constitutional 
Convention, and the following year he was a candidate 
for Representative in Congress, but was defeated by 
less than 300 majority. He was successful in 1854 and 
has been six times re-elected. Soon after he entered 
Congress he became a prominent member on the Repub- 
lican side, and for two successive sessions was chair- 
man of the committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. 
He was elected Speaker of the House of Representa- 
tives in 1863, and will have served in that capacity six 
years when his present term expires. In 1865, he made 
a tour " Across the Continent" to the Pacific, and has 
lectured on his tour in the principal cities of the North. 
May 21st, 1868, he was nominated by the Union Repub- 



76 NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 

lican National Convention as candidate for Vice Presi- 
dent of the United States, over several competitors, 
and the nomination was afterward made unanimous. 



GEN. GRANT S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. 

To Gen. Joseph R. Havvley, President of the National Union 
Republican Convention : In formally accepting the nomination 
of the National Union Republican Convention of the 21st of May 
inst., it seems proper that some statement of views beyond the 
mere acceptance of the nomination should be expressed. The 
proceedings of the Convention were marked with wisdom, modera- 
tion, and patriotism, and I believe express the feelings of the 
great mass of those who sustained the country through its recent 
trials. I endorse the resolutions. If elected to the office of Presi- 
dent of the United States, it will be my endeavor to administer 
all the laws in good faith, with economy, and with the view of 
giving peace, quiet and protection everywhere. In times like the 
present it is impossible, or at least eminently improper to lay down 
a policy to be adhered to, right or wrong, through an administra- 
tion of four years. New political issues, not foreseen, are con- 
stantly arising; the views of the public on old ones are constantly 
changing, and a purely administrative officer should always be 
left free to execute the will of the people. I always have respected 
that will, and always shall. Peace and universal prosperity — its 
sequence — with economy of administration will lighten the burden 
of taxation, Avhile it constantly reduces the national debt. Let 
us have peace. 

With great respect, your obedient servant, 

U. S. GRANT. 

Washington, D. C, May 29, 1868. 

MR. COLFAx's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. 
Hon. J. R. Hawley, &c.,—Dear Sir: The platform adopted 
by the patriotic Convention over which 3'ou presided, and the reso- 
lutions which so happilj' supplement it, so entirely agree with 
my views as to a just national policy that my thanks are due to 
the Delegates as much for this clear 'and auspicious declaration 
of principles as for the nomination with which I have been honored, 
and Avhich I gratefully accept. When a great Rebellion, which 
imperiled the national existence, was at last overthrown, the duty 
of all others, devolving on those entrusted with the responsibilities 
of legislation, evidently was to require that the revolted States 
should be re-admitted to participation in the Government against 
which they had erred only on such a basis as to increase and 
fortify, not to weaken or endanger, the strength and power of the 



NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 77 

nation. Certainly no one ought to have claimed that they should 
be readmitted under such rule that their organization as States 
could ever again be used, as at the opening of the war, to defy 
the national authority or to destroy the national unity. This 
principle has been the pole-star of those who have inflexibl^r in- 
sisted on the Congressional policy, your Convention so cordially 
indorsed. Baffled by Executive opposition, and by persistent re- 
fusals to accept any plan of reconstruction proffered by Congress, 
justice and public safety at last combined to tea»^h us that only by 
an enlargement of suffrage in those States could the desired end be 
attained, and that it was even more safe to give the ballot to those 
who loved the Union than to those who had sought ineffectually 
to destroy it. The assured success of this legislation is being 
written on the adamant of history, and will be our triumphant 
vindication. More clearly, too, than ever before, does the nation 
now recognize that the greatest glory of a republic is that it throws 
the shield of its protection over the humblest and weakest of its 
people, and vindicates the rights of the poor and the powerless as 
faithfully as those of the rich and the powerful. I rejoice, too, in this 
connection, to find in your platform the frank and fearless avowal 
that naturalized citizens must be protected abroad at every hazard, 
as though they were native-born. Our whole people are foreigners, 
or descendants of foreigners; our fathers established by arms their 
right to be called a nation. It remains for us to establish the 
right to welcome to our shores all who are willing, by oaths of alle- 
giance, to become American citizens. Perpetual allegiance, as 
claimed abroad, is only another name for perpetual bondage, and 
would make all slaves to the soil where first they saw the light. 
Our National cemeteries prove how faithfully these oath of fidelity 
to their adopted land have been sealed in the life blood of thou- 
sands upon thousands. Should we not, then, be faithless to the 
dead if we did not protect their living brethren in the full enjoy- 
ment of that nationality for which, side by side, with the native 
born, our soldiers of foreign birth laid down their lives. It was 
fitting too, that the representatives of a party which had proved 
so true to national duty in time of war, should speak so clearly 
in time of peace for the maintenance untarnished of the national 
honor, national credit and good faith as regards its debt, the cost 
of our national existence. I do not need to extend this reply by 
further comment on a platform which has elicited such hearty 
approval throughout the land. The debt of gratitude it acknowl- 
edges to the brave men who saved the Union from destruction, 
the frank approval of amnesty based on repentance and loyalty, 
the demand for the most thorough economy and honesty in the 
Government, the sympathy of the party of liberty whith all 
throughout the world who longed for the liberty we here enjoy, 
and the recognition of the sublime principles of the Declaration 



TS NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 

of Independence, are worthy of the organization, on whose ban- 
ners they are to be written in the coming contest. Its past record 
cannot be blotted out or forgotten. If there had been no Republi- 
can party, Slavery would to-day cast its baleful shadow over the 
republic. If there had been no Republican party, a free press, 
and free speech would be as unknown from the Potomac to the 
Rio Grande as ten years ago. If the Republican party could have 
been stricken from existence when the banner of Rebellion was 
unfurled, and when the response of " No Coercion " was heard at 
the North, we would have had no nation to-day. But for the 
Republican party daring to risk the odium of tax, and draft laws, 
our flag could not have been kept flying in the field until the long 
hoped for victory came. Without a Republican party the Civil 
Rights bill— the guarantee of equality under the law to the hum- 
ble, and the defenceless, as well as to the strong — would not be 
to-day upon our National Statute book. With such inspiration 
from the past, and following the example of the founders of the 
Republic, who called the victorious General of the Revolution to 
preside over the land his triumphs had saved from its enemies, I 
cannot doubt that our labors will be crowned with success; and it 
will be a success that shall bring restored hope, confidence, pros- 
perity, and progress South as well as North, West as well as East, 
and above all, the blessings under Providence of National concord 
and peace. 

Very truly yours, 

SCHUYLER COLFAX. 



A Soldiers' and Sailors' Convkntion was held at Chicago, 
May 19th, 1868. Gen. Lucius Fairchiid, of Wisconsin, presided. 
The resolutions endorsed Gon. Grant for President, pledged their 
earnest and active support to the Republican party, approved of 
the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, demand protection for nat- 
uralized citizens abroad, and tender sympathy and support to the 
loyal men of the South. 

The mystic cords of memor^^, stretching from every battle-field 
and patriot grave to ever}' living heart and hearth-stone all over 
this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when 
again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our 
nature. — Abraham Lincoln's Jirst inaugural address. 

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in 
the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish 
the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for 
him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and or- 
phans, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting 
peace among ourselves and with all nations. — Abraham Lincoln's 
last inaugural address. 



DEMOCKATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION, 1868. 

This body met in Tammany Hall, New York, Saturday, 
July 4th, and was called to order by August Belmont, 
of New York, chairman of the Democratic National 
Committee. Henry L. Palmer, of Wisconsin, was 
chosen temporary President. The first day was occu- 
pied with the transaction of preliminary business com- 
mon to such assemblies. 

On Mouday, 6th, Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York, 
was elected permanent President, and a Vice President 
and Secretary were reported and elected for each State. 
Little progress was made on this day, and the conven- 
tion adjourned until Tuesday, 7th, when the committee 
on resolutions made their report, and after discussion 
it was unanimously adopted as 

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. 

The Democratic Party in National Convention assembled, re- 
posing its trust in the intelligence, patriotism, and discriminat- 
ing justice of the people, standing upon the Constitution as the 
foundation and limitation of the powers of the Government, and 
the guai'anty of the liberties of the citizen, and recognizing the 
questions of Slavery and Secession as having been settled for 
all time to come by the war, or the voluntary action of the South- 
ern States in constitutional conventions assembled, and never to 
be renewed or re-agitated, do with the return of peace demand: 

I. Immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the 
Union, under the Constitution, and of civil government to the 
American i^eople. 

II. Amnesty for all past political offences and the regulation of 
the elective franchise in the States by their citizens. 

III. Payment of the public debt of the United States as rapidly 
as -practicable, all moneys drawn from the people by taxation, 
except so much as is requisite for the necessities of the Govern- 
ment economically administered, being honestly applied to such 
payment, and, where the obligations of the Government do not 
expressly state upon their face, or the law under which they were 
issued does not provide that they shall be paid in coin, they ought, 
in right and in justice, be paid in the lawful money of the United 
States. 

IV. Equal taxation of every species of property, according to 
its real value, including Government bonds and other public secu- 
rities. 

V. One currency for the Government and the people, the la- 
borer and the office-holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the 
producer and the bondholder. 



80 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. 

VI. Economy in the administration of the Government, the 
reduction of the standing army and navy, the abolition of the 
Freedmen's Bureau and all ijolitical instrumentalities designed to 
secure negi-o supremacy; simplification of the system and dis- 
continuance of inquisitorial modes of assessing and collecting In- 
ternal Kevenue, so that the burden of taxation may be equalized 
and lessened, the credit of the Government increased, and the cur- 
i-ency made good, the repeal of all enactments for enrolling the 
State Militia into National forces in time of peace, and a tariil'for 
revenue upon foreign imports, and such equal taxation under the 
Internal Kevenue laws as will aflbrd incidental protection to do- 
mestic manufactures, and as will, without impairing the revenue, 
impose the least burden upon and best promote and encourage 
the gi-eat industi-ial interests of the country. 

VII. Reform of abuses in the Administration, the expulsion of 
corrupt men from office, the abrogation of useless offices, the 
restoration of righttul authority to and the independence of the 
Executive and Judicial Departments of the Government, and the 
subordination of the military to the civil power, to the end that the 
usurpations of Congress and the despotism of the sword may 
cease. 

VIII. Equal rights and protection for naturalized and native 
born citizens at home and abroad, the assei'tion of American 
nationalitj' which shall command the respect of foreign powers 
and furnish an example and encouragement to people struggling 
for national integi'ity, constitutional liberty, and individual rights ; 
and the maintenance of the rights of naturalized citizens, against 
the absolute doctrine of immutable allegiance and the claims of 
foreign i)owers to punish them for alleged crime committed be- 
yond their jurisdiction. 

In demanding these measures and reforms we aiTaign the Eadi- 
cal party for its disregard of right and the unparalleled oppression 
and tyranny which have marked its career. After the most solemn 
and unanimous pledge of both Houses of Congress to prosecute 
the war exclusively for the maintenance of the Government and 
the preservation of the Union under the Constitution, it has re- 
peatedlj" violated that most sacred pledge under which alone was 
rallied that noble volunteer army which carried our flag to victor}-. 
Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so far as in its power, dis- 
solved it, and subjected ten States in time of profound peace to 
military despotism and negro supremacy. It has nullified there 
the right of trial by jury; it has abolishe'd the habeas corpus, that 
most sacred writ ot liberty; it has overthrown the freedom of 
speech and the press; it has substituted arbitrary seizures and 
arrests, and military trials, and secret star-chamber inquisitions 
for the constitutional tribunals ; it has disregarded in time of peace 
the right of the people to be free from searches and seizures, it 
has entered the post and telegraph offices, and even the private 
rooms of individuals, and seized their private papers and letters 
without any specific charge or notice of affidavit, as required by 
the organic law; it has converted the American capitol into a 
Bastile ; it has established a system of spies and of espionage 
to which no constitutional monarchy of Europe would dare to 
resort; it has abolished the right of appeal on important constitu- 



DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. 81 

tional questions to the supreme judicial tribunals, and threatens 
to curtail or destroy its original jurisdiction which is irrevocably 
vested by the Constitution; while the learned Chief-Justice has 
been subjected to the most atrocious calumnies merely because 
he would not prostitute his high office to the support of the false 
and partisan charges preferred against the President. Its corrup- 
tion and extravagance have exceeded anything known in history; 
and by its frauds and monopolies it has nearly doubled the burden 
of the debt created by the war. It has stripped the Pi-esident of 
his Constitutional power of appointment, even of his own Cabinet. 
Under its repeated assaults the pillars of the Government are 
rocking on their base, and should it succeed in November next 
and inaugurate its President, we will meet as a subject and con- 
quered people amid the ruins of liberty and the shattered frag- 
ments of the Constitution; and we do declare and resolve, that 
ever since the people of the United States threw off all subjection 
to the British Crown the privilege and trust of suffrage have be- 
longed to the several States, and have been granted, regulated 
and controlled exclusively by the political power of each State 
respectively, and that any attempt by Congress, on any pretext 
whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or interfere with its 
exercise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which can find no 
warrant in the Constitution; and, if sanctioned by the people, 
will subvert our form of government, and can only end in a sin- 
gle centralized and consolidated government, in which the sepa- 
rate existence of the States will be entirely absorbed, and an 
unqualified despotism be established in i^lace of a Federal Union 
of coequal States; and that we regard the reconstruction acts (so 
called) of Congress, as such a usurpation and unconstitutional, 
revolutionary and void; that our soldiers and sailors who carried 
the flag of our country to victory against a most gallant and deter- 
mined foe, must ever be gratefully remembered and all the guar- 
antees given in their favor must be faithfullj^ carried into execu- 
tion. That the public lands should be distributed as widely as 
possible among the people, and should be disposed of either 
under the pre-emption or homestead laws, and sold in reasonable 
quantities, and to none but actual occupants, at the minimum 
price established by the Government. When grants of the public 
lands may be allowed necessary for the encouragement of impor- 
tant public improvements, the proceeds of the sale of such lauds, 
and not the lands themselves, should be so applied. 

That the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson, in 
exercising the power of his high office in resisting the aggressions 
of Congress upon the Constitutional rights of the States and the 
people, is entitled to the gratitude of the whole American people, 
and in behalf of the Democratic party we tender him'our thanks 
for his patriotic efforts in that regard. Upon this platform the 
Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all the Con- 
servative element, and all who desire to support the Constitution 
and restore the Union, forgetting all past differences of opinion to 
unite with us in the present great struggle for the liberties of the 

Eeople; and that to all such, to whatever party they may have 
eretofore belonged, we extend the right hand of fellowship, and 
hail all such co-operating with us as friends and brethren. 



bJ DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. 

Preceding the balloting for a candidate for President, 
the convention reaffirmed the old rule of Democratic 
National Conventions, requiring two-thirds of all the 
delegates to nominate. As there were 317 delegates in 
attendance from thirty-seven States, 212 were therefore 
required to nominate. Nominations of candidates for 
President were called for, and the names of James E. 
English of Connecticut, George H. Pendleton of Ohio, 
Winfleld S. Hancock of Pennsylvania, Asa Packer of 
Pennsylvania, Sanford E. Church of New York, Joel 
Parker of New Jersey, Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, 
and James R. Doolittle of Wisconsin, were severally 
proposed, to which was afterward added those of Thos. 
A. Hendricks of Indiana, Erank P. Blair, of Missouri, 
and others. On Tuesday six ballotings were taken, on 
Wednesday twelve, and on Thursday four, making in 
all twenty-two. The results of the several ballotings 
were as follows :

As the twenty-second balloting was progressing, 
Gen. McCook, of Ohio, proposed the name of Horatio 
Seymour in behalf of his delegation, saying that the 
latter could now accept the nomination without dishonor 
though it might be against his inclination. Mr. Sey- 
mour, who occupied the chair, protested against the 
use of his name, thanked the convention and the Ohio 
delegation for the intended honor, but said that he could 
not receive the nomination without placing himself and 
the great Democratic party in a false position. He 
hoped that God would bless them, but their candidate 
he could not be. Mr. Seymour shortly after called Gen. 
Price, of Missouri, one of the Vice Presidents, to the 
chair, and retired from the hall. Several delegates ap- 
pealed to the convention, and the result was that State 
after State changed their votes from others to Hon. 
Horatio Seymour, and amidst a scene of wild excite- 
ment he was declared the unanimous nominee for Presi- 
dent. 

After a recess, the convention reassembled, and sev- 
eral names were proposed for Vice President, but all 
were withdrawn in favor of Gen. Francis P. Blair, 
of Missouri, who was unanimously declared the nomi- 
nee by acclamation. The convention soon after ad- 
journed. 

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. 

Hon. Horatio Seymour, candidate for President, 
was born in Pompey, Onondaga County, New York, in 
1811. He was liberally educated, adopted the profession 
of law, and commenced its practice in Utica, but inher- 



84 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. 

itiug a large property, devoted himself to its care, and 
abandoned his profession. He first entered, public life 
in 1842 as Mayor of Utica-, and member of the Assembly 
of New York, Tvhich latter position he held three or 
four years, and served as Speaker in 1845. He has 
always been a Democrat. In 1850 he was the Demo- 
cratic candidate for Governor and was supported for 
the same office four times thereafter, having been twice 
elected, (1852 and 18G2) and three times defeated. The 
votes cast for and against him on each occasion were 
as follows : 

1850 Horatio Seymour, 214,352 Wash. Hunt, Whig, 214,614 

1852 " " 264,121 " " 239,736 

Tompkins, F. S. 19,290 

1854 " " 156,495 Myron H. Clark, Whig, 156,804 

G. C. Bronson, Dem. 33,890 D. Ullman, K. N., 122,282 

1862 Horatio Seymour, 306,649 J. S. Wadsworth, Rep., 295,897 

1864 " 'f 361,264 K. E, Fenton, Rep., 309,557 

Mr. Seymour was defeated the first time by 262 major- 
ity, elected the second time by 24,385 ; next defeated by 
309 ; then elected by 10,752, and defeated the third time 
by 8,293 votes. Gov. Seymour's last term was during 
the late rebellion, and he opposed the policy of the ad- 
ministration of President Lincoln, though as Governor 
of the State of New York, he sent forward soldiers. 
He opposed the draft in 1863, and has been severely cen- 
sured for his course during the celebrated draft riots in 
New York City, in July, 1863, it having been charged 
that while he did not directly encourage the riot, his 
language in an address made to the rioters was con- 
strued as palliating their ofience. Mr. Seymour is said 
not to entertain the views of many members of his 
party on financial matters, though he also opposes the 
financial policy of Congress. He presided over the 
Democratic National Convention held at Chicago in 
1864 and at New York the present year. He is an able 
man, and his name has been mentioned heretofore in 
connection with the office for which he is now the can- 
didate of a large party. It was generally understood 
before the recent convention assembled that he was not 
an aspirant at this time, but the division as to a can- 
didate led to bringing him forward at a moment when 



DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. 85 

it seemed that no other man could secure the nomina- 
tion. 

Gen. Francis P. Blair, the candidate for Vice Presi- 
dent, is a native of Lexington, Kentucky, born February 
19tli, 1821. He graduated at Princeton College, studied 
law, and practiced at St. Louis, Missouri, for many 
years. He served in tlie Mexican war as a private un- 
der Gen. Doniphan. In 1848, he first became known in 
political circles as a member of the Free-soil party, was 
editor of the 3Iissouri Democrat, at one time, and in 
1852 and 1854 was elected to the Missouri Legislature 
as an Emancipationist or supporter of Thomas H. Ben- 
ton. In 1856 he was elected a Republican member of 
the National House of Representatives, was defeated 
in 1858, but re-elected in 1860 and 1862, though his 
election was contested the last time on the ground of 
fraudulent voting, and the seat given to Mr. Knox, a 
Radical. He early entered the military service of the 
Government after the rebellion commenced, as a Colonel 
of Missouri volunteers, and was soon after promoted 
to the rank of Brigadier and Major General. He served 
under Gen. Fremont in Missouri, and was with Gen. 
Sherman in his march through Georgia and the Caro- 
linas, and performed brave duty. He has for the past 
few years acted with the Democrats, and was supported 
by them as a candidate for the Missouri Legislature in 
1866, but was not elected. He is a man of considerable 
ability; and has recently subjected himself to sharp 
criticism by writing a letter favoring the nullification 
of the reconstruction acts of Congress by a Democratic 
President, should one be elected at the next election. 



MR. Seymour's spijech of acceptance. 

[The compiler desired to insert here the letter of 
Hon. Horatio Seymour, accepting the nomination for 
the Presidency, but at the time this portion of the Man- 
ual went to press, it had not been published; in place 
of the letter, therefore, is here presented his speech 
of acceptance, made at a Democratic meeting, held in 



86 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. 

Tammany Hall, Friday evening, July 10th, the evening 
of the next day after his nomination.] 

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee — I thank you 
for the courteous terms in which you have communicated to me 
tlie action of the Democratic National Convention. I have no 
words adequate to express my gratitude for the good will and 
kindness which that body has shown to me. Its nomination was 
unsought and unexpected. It was my ambition to take an active 
part, from which I am now excluded, 'in the great struggle going 
on for the restoration of good government, of peace and prosperity 
to our country. But I have been caught up by the whelming tide 
that is bearing us on to a great political change, and I find myself 
unable to resist its pressure. You have also given to me a copy 
of the resolutions put forth by the Convention, showing its position 
upon all the great questions which now agitate the country. As 
the presiding officer of that Convention, I am familiar with their 
scope and import, and as one of its members I am a party to their 
terms; they are in accord with my views, and I stand upon them 
in the contest upon which we are now entering; and I shall strive 
to carry them out in future wherever I may be placed in public or 
private life. I congratulate you and all "^conservative men who 
seek to restore order, peace, prosperity and good government to 
our land, upon the evidences everywhere shown that we are to 
triumph at the next election. Those who are politically opposed 
to us flattered themselves there would be discord in our councils; 
they mistook the uncertainties of our views as to the best methods 
of carrying out our purposes for difference of opinion in regard to 
those purposes. They mistook an intense anxiety to do no act 
which should not be wise and judicious for a spirit of discord; but 
during the lengthened proceedings and earnest discussions of the 
Convention there has prevailed an entire harmony of intercourse, 
a patient forbearance and a self-sacrificing spirit which are the 
sure tokens of a coming victory. Accept for yourselves, gentle- 
men, my wishes for your future welfare and happiness. In a few 
days I will answer the communication you have just handed me 
by letter, as is the customary form. 

GEN. BLAIR's letter OF ACCEPTANCE. 
Gen. George W. Morgan, &:c.,— Gener-al: I take the earliest 
opportunity of replying to your letter notifying me of my nomin- 
ation for Vice President of the United States by the National 
Democratic Convention, held in New York. I accept without 
hesitation the nomination tendered in a manner so gratifying, and 
give you and the committee thanks for the kind and complimen- 
tary language in which you have conveyed to me the decision of 
the Convention. 



DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONTENTION. 87 

I have carefully read the resolutions adopted by the Convention, 
and most cordially concur in every principle and sentiment they 
announce. My opinion upon all the questions which discriminate 
the great contending parties, have been freely expressed on all 
suitable occasions, and I do not deem it necessary at this time to 
reiterate them. The issues upon which the contest turns are clear, 
and cannot be obscured or distorted by the sophistries of our ad- 
versaries. They all resolve themselves into the old and ever re- 
curring struggle of a few men to absorb the political power of the 
nation. The effort under every conceivable name and disguise, 
has always characterized the opponents of the Democratic party, 
but at no time has the attempt assumed a shape so open and dar- 
ing as in this contest. 

The adversaries of free and constitutional government in defi- 
ance of the express language of the Constitution, have erected a 
miiitarv despotism in ten of the States of the Union, have taken 
from the President the power vested in him by the supreme law, 
and have deprived the Supreme Court of its jurisdiction ; the right 
of trial by jury, and the great writ of right, the habeas corpus, 
shields of safety for every citizen, and which have descended to 
us from the earliest traditions of our ancestors and which our rev- 
olutionary fathers sought to secure to their posterity forever in the 
fundamental charter of our liberties, have been ruthlessly trampled 
under foot by the fragment of a Congress. Whole States and 
communities of people of our race have been attainted, convicted, 
condemned and deprived of their rights as citizens without pre- 
sentment, or trial, or witnesses, but by Congressional enactment of 
ex post facto laws and in defiance of the constitutional prohibition, 
denying even to a full and legal Congress the authority to pass 
any bill of attainder or ex post facto law. The same usurping 
authority has substituted as electors in place of the men of our 
race thus illegally attainted and disfranchised, a host of ignorant, 
negroes, who are "supported in idleness with the public money, and 
combined together to strip the white race of their birthright, 
through the management of freedmen's bureaus, and the emissa- 
ries of conspirators in other States; and to complete the oppres- 
sion, the military power of the nation has been placed at their 
disposal, in order to make this barbarism supreme. The military 
leader under whose prestige this usurping Congress has taken ref- 
uge since the condemnation of their schemes by the free people of 
the North in the elections of the last year, and whom they have 
selected as their candidate, to shield themselves from the result of 
their own wickedness and crime, has announced his acceptance of 
tlie nomination, and his willingness to maintain their usurpations 
over eight millions of white people at the South, fixed to the earth 
with his bayonets. He exclaims, " Let us have peace." "Peace 
reigns in Warsaw," was the announcement which heralded the 



88 NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. 

doom of the liberties of a nation. "The empire is peace'," ex- 
claimed Bonaparte when freedom and its defenders expired under 
the sharp edge of his sword. 

The peace to which Grant invites us is the peace of despotism 
and death. Those who seek to restore the Constitution by exe- 
cuting the will of the people condemning the reconstruction acts, 
already pronounced in the elections of last year, (and which will, 
I am convinced, be still more emphatically expressed by the elec- 
tion of the Democratic candidate as President of the United States,) 
are denounced as revolutionists by the partizans of this vindictive 
Congress. Negro sufirage which the popular vote of New York, 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Connecticut and other 
States have condemned as expressly against the letter of the Con- 
stitution, must stand because their Senators and Representatives 
have willed it. 

If the people shall again condemn these atrocious measures by 
the election of the Democratic candidate for President, they must 
not be disturbed. Although decided to be unconstitutional by the 
Supreme Court, and although the President is sworn to maintain 
and support the Constitution, the will of a fraction of a Congress, 
reinforced with its partisan emissaries sent to the South, and sup- 
ported there by the soldieiy, must stand against the will of the 
people, and the decision of the Supreme Court, and the solemn 
oath of the President to maintain the Constitution. It is revolu- 
tionary to execute the will of the people. It is revolutionary to 
execute the judgment of the Supreme Court. It is revolutionary 
in the President to keep inviolate his oath to sustain the Constitu- 
tion. This false construction of the vital principle of our goverji- 
ment is the last resort of those who would have their arbitrary 
reconstruction swav, and supersede our time honored customs. 
The nation will say the Constitution must be restored and the will 
•of the people again prevail. The appeal to the peaceful ballot to 
attain this end is not war — is not revolution. They make war and 
revolution who attempt to arrest this quiet mode "of putting aside 
military despotism, and the usurpations of a fi-agment of a Congress 
asserting absolute power over that benign system of regulated 
liberty left us by our fathers. This must be allowed to take its 
course. This is the only road to peace. It will come with the 
election of the Democratic candidate, and not with the election 
of that mailed warrior, whose bayonets are now at the throats of 
eight millions of people in the South, to compel them to support 
him as a candidate for the Presidency, and to submit to the dom- 
ination of an alien race of semi-barbarous men. No perversion of 
truth or audacity of misrepresentation can exceed that which hails 
this candidate in arms as an angel of peace. 
I am very respectfully. 

Your most obedient servant, F. P. BLAIR. 



FOUETEENTH AETICLE OF AMENDMENT. 

The following is the Fourteenth Article of Amend- 
ment to the Constitution of the United States, which 
the Southern States were required to adopt previous 
to re-admission, and which is now adopted by the 
requisite number of three-quarters of all the States : 

Section 1. All persons bom or uaturalized in the United 
States, and subject to the jurisdiction tliereof, are citizens of the 
United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State 
shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges 
or immunities of citizens of the United States ; nor shall any 
State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due 
process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction 
the equal proitectiou of the laws. 

Sec. 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several 
States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole 
number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. 
But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors 
for President and Vice President of the United States, Representa- 
tives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State, or 
tlie members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the 
male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age and 
citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for 
participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representa- 
tion therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number 
of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citi- 
zens twenty-one years of age in such State. 

Sec. 3, No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Con- 
gress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, 
civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, 
having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as 
an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Leg- 
islature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to sup- 
port the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in 
insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort 
to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by vote of two-thirda 
of each House, remove such disability. 

Sec. 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States 
authorized by law, including debts incurred for the payment of 
pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insm-rection 
or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United 
States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation 
incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United 
States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave: 
but all suchViebts, obligations, and claims shall beheld illegal and 
void. 

Sec. 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appro- 
priate legislation, the provision of this article. 



THE PEESIDENTIAL ELECTION. 

The following is a summary of the laws and constitu- 
tional requirements in the election of a President and 
Vice President : 

Electors elected on the first Tuesday after the first 
Monday in November. 

The Governor gives notice to electors of their elec- 
tion, before the first Wednesday in December. 

Electors meet on the first Wednesday in December, 
and cast their votes. They then sign three certificates 
— send a messenger with one to the President of the 
Senate, at Washington, before the first Wednesday in 
January — another by mail to the same person, and the 
third deliver to the United States District Judge, where 
electors meet. 

Each State provides by law for filling any vacancy in 
the Board of Electors, occasioned by absence, death, 
or resignation. Such of the electors as are present are 
generally authorized to fill any vacancy. 

On the second Wednesday in February, Congress 
shall be in session, and open the returns. The Presi- 
dent of the Senate shall, in the presence of the House 
of Representatives, open the certificate of returns, and 
count the votes. The person having the greatest num- 
ber of votes for President, if such number be a majority 
of the whole number of electors, shall be the President. 

If no person has a majority as above, the choice is to 
be made from the highest returned. The members of 
the House, by States, form themselves into Electoral 
Committees, and the majority' determine which is to be 
the choice of the State — each State having only one 
vote. 

If neither of the candidates get a majority of the 
States before the 4th of March, then the Vice President 
shall act as President. 

If no candidate for Vice President has a majority of 
the electors, then from the two highest candidates the 
Senate elects the Vice President, each Senator having 
one vote.

AYER'S HAIR VIGOR. 

Yielding to frequent and urgent solicita- 
tions from persons in all parts of the country 
who had experienced the virtues of our med- 
icines, we began, several years ago, a series 
of investigations which should lead to the 
production of a really eflacient Hair Restorer. 
After the most exhaustive researches into the 
diseases of the hair and scalp, and their rem- 
edies, aided by eminent chemists and physi- 
ologists, we have the pleasure to offer the 
public a preparation which cannot fail to win 
tlieir conlidence. It combines the most desirable qualities of the 
best preparations extant, without their objectionable ones,— the 
result of a determination to supply M'hat should be both effectual 
and harmless, whereas, many of the Hair Restorers in the market 
are feared as dangerous. The large number who have ti'ied the 
Vigor speak of it in unqualified terms of praise, expressing the 
fullest satisfaction with its results. 

It is a Delightful Dressing, 

Rendering the hair soft, pliant and glossy, and perfuming it with a 
new odor of rare delicacy, much admired by all who have used it. 
On account of these peculiarities, it is already sought by ladies 
whose hair is so abimdant as to require only a rich dressing. It 
excites the scalp to excrete its nioisture, so that after the Vigor 
has dissipated, the hair is kept soft by this, its own proper unguent. 
Such a HAIR DRESSING as we now supply has been long de- 
sii'ed, — one which could be relied on to effect known results, with- 
out being offensive, or injurious to the hair or the general health. 
Where a preparation is not needed to reproduce nor to color the 
hair, the use of the Vigor will be found highly beneficial, as tend- 
ing to keep up the vitality of the growth; and, as a dressing, is 
superior to any in the market, and is surely the best we can pro- 
duce. To many the preservation of this great natural ornament is 
so much an object, that we know we are meeting an urgent want 
when we supply a safe and agreeable dressing, which beautifies 
the hair if it is abundant, preserves it if decaying, and restores it 
and its beauty when they have been lost.
